Looks pretty clean to me...you could do without some programs launching at startup and running in the background.

Any update "service" doesn't need to be constantly running. Developers don't release updates to any program (with maybe the exception of AnyDVD!!) on such a quick term basis/turn around time...that makes it necessary to have update managers running. Only other exception I can think of are antivirus programs that will have daily updates. But then again...you can run that thru the program so it's not taking up resources all the time.

So...Java's update manager (jusched.exe) can go, your MSN Messenger (msnmsgr.exe) doesn't need to start up with Windows, anything running from Nero like nerocheck, InCD, etc...all of which you can clear up thru msconfig. Messenger will need to be unchecked in the program itself under the General tab.
